6.5.4 Bidirectional Instrument Identification
In practice, instruments are integrated into a large network or placed in racks together
with several other instruments of the same kind. It might be difficult then to find out
which of the instruments configured in the R&S
SGMA-GUI corresponds to which
physical instrument or to localize all instruments operated by the current controller.
The R&S
SGMA-GUI and the instrument provide the "Device Identification" function for
this purpose.
How to find an instrument in the R&S SGMA-GUI
► If several instruments have been configured and activated in the R&S
SGMA-GUI,
press the ID button on the instrument's front panel to trigger device identification.
The "Edit Instrument" dialog of this instrument opens.
Field "Edit Instrument > Symbolic Name" displays the name of the instrument as
shown in the R&S SGMA-GUI main panel.
